Robertson, 30, told the Court of Session in Edinburgh yesterday that he was in the Glenmavis Tavern in Bathgate, West Lothian, on the previous evening with friends when they were joined by Goodwillie and a cousin. Denise and a female friend were also in the bar.

Asked by his QC, Roddy ­McIlvride, about his interaction with Denise during the evening, Robertson said they had been “flirty and kissing”.

He added: “My understanding was that things would progress and probably lead to sex.”

He said it was “kind of touchy-feely” between them and she told him he looked better than used to.

He said he had told her he had a girlfriend and she turned around as if she was annoyed, but said: “Who am I kidding that I really care?”

“She asked who David was. I told her he was a team-mate of mine, then she said ‘He is quite good looking.’”
